Who wants to look at myc pictures?
    #19199016 - 11/28/13 01:00 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I read here not too long ago that if you see more than one type of myc growing in a jar, it's probably contaminated, but I've been watching these guys for a while now and I'd like to get a second (or third or fourth!) opinion. Sorry there's so many pics; I wanted to be thorough. You can probably tell by looking, but these are BRF. It's worth noting that after sterilization, some jars' substrate appeared rather wet, but I decided to try my luck and learn something by watching firsthand instead of redoing them right away. These have been without tape, in a 70-75F degree spot for 29 days. Most of the jars turned out very nice; no real room for ambiguity. But these ones have me stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Those all look...not that good. Was your substrate really wet...?

Yeah, even with tinfoil covering the tops, I must not have crinkled them tight enough when PCing. Or maybe my substrate was too wet to begin with, but I was pretty careful to reach field capacity (I think that's what it's called; been trying to do my homework when I can). I figured I was bound to lose a few. I may wait just to see it actually contam though. I'd like to get a good idea what that looks like.

Field capacity is for bulk substrate grows.  It would be way too wet for brf cakes.

Field capacity is a measurement of moisture content in bulk substrates. It has no relation to grain spawn or brf cakes, which are considerably lower in moisture content than field capacity.

Field capacity is a measurement of bulk substrates such as manure or coir, and doesn't apply to BRF because it would make it too wet.  A properly made batch of brf that is ready to be loaded into jars will have no water at all squeeze out if you pick up a handful and squeeze hard.  It will however, be damp.

Thanks for the links. I must have gotten tripped up on the wordage while watching the videos and mixed too many teks together. So much info! :laugh: Now I know for next time.

Edited: For clarity.
